I have always considered “availability” of fit-for-purpose services to be the end deliverable of service management.  Availability seems to take little bits of input from each of the other processes (V2) or lifecycle phases (V3) and tie them all together.  It’s almost as if Availability is *the reason* to do ITSM.
